Dear Howitt Hall Residents,

Upper year residents living in our community have graciously agreed to devote their time, knowledge and expertise to assist you in your transition into university. You may contact them if you have any academic related queries such as course work, labs, assignments, study tips etc.  However, I ask that you please show courtesy and respect when you seek their assistance. The Database may be found posted outside the Study Room.

I hope the Database serves you well in your academic endeavours. 

Yours faithfully,

- Francis D. Lui, Howitt Hall RSA 2011

The Howitt Hall Great Debate is coming! Come and listen to some of Howitt Hall's most prominent residents voice their opinion on the topic "Should we look after the environment?" and afterwards you can voice your opinion! This promises to be a fun-filled and informative event! Your opinion matters! Come to the Common Room on Monday the 29th of March at 6pm to let your voice be heard! (Snacks provided!)

Academic Mentoring Session – ‘It’s never to late to mend!’
Semester 1 is done and dusted.  How did those results go?

Reckon you could use some help with studying?

If so, you need to come to the Howitt Academic Mentoring session for Semester 2.  Get advice on studying, help with an assignment, or just find out what other people in your course are up to.

The semester is halfway done. Assignments are coming due. Exams are on the horizon. ARE YOU READY?! If not, or you just feel you could be a bit more prepared, then you need to come to the 2nd Academic Mentoring session. Get help with an assignment, advice on studying or just find out what other people in your course are up to. Remember, your situation isn’t unique. Others are in the same place. The Howitt Mentors have been where you are and succeeded. Let them pass the secrets of success onto you. All year levels welcome!

The Academic Portfolio is proud to present the first Howitt Hall Study Skills seminar.  This is a presentation designed to help residents develop good study habits that will enable them to maximise their academic performance.  Topics covered include academic reading & writing, as well as creating a study plan and sticking to it.
